Author Bio - Thomas Tcheuffa
From humble beginnings in Cameroon to establishing SalsaEverybody in Ireland, my journey has always been driven by a deep passion for dance, music, and culture. As the Founder and Managing Director of SalsaEverybody.com Dance School, I am a Dance Educator, DJ, Animator, and the Organizer of the Tropical Dance Escape holiday event concept (check out our Tropical Dance Escape Facebook page).
For over 30 years, I have immersed myself in the world of dance, refining my skills across a variety of styles, and I’ve been teaching for the past 15 years. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned dancers. Whether through weekly classes in Dungarvan, Dublin, and Waterford City, or private lessons for special occasions like hen nights, stag parties, and weddings, I aim to make dance accessible, fun, and transformative for all.
Along the way, I've faced many challenges, but my love for dance and its ability to change lives has always driven me forward. I’ve been fortunate to be invited to teach workshops and DJ at international dance festivals and congresses nearly every month, traveling around the world to share my love for dance. These global experiences have expanded my understanding of dance cultures and connected me with fellow dance enthusiasts and artists worldwide.
In addition to my dance experience, I hold an internationally recognized 2nd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo from the World Taekwondo Federation (W.T.F.) and am a certified Fitness Instructor. These disciplines have not only shaped my approach to dance but also my ability to teach with precision, confidence, and dedication. I believe that dance is not just an art form—it's a path to holistic wellness, where physical, mental, and emotional growth intertwine.
My philosophy is simple: Dance is for everyone. Regardless of age, background, or experience, I firmly believe that dance transcends boundaries. It’s a powerful means of expression, a way to improve physical and mental health, and a medium to forge deep connections with others. Many of my students have shared how dance has brought them joy, alleviated stress, and even strengthened their relationships.
Whether you're just starting with two left feet or are already an experienced dancer, I strive to provide a welcoming and supportive environment where you can grow, explore, and enjoy the rhythm of life.
